Will this work to power a single computer and monitor for 8-12 hours a day?

If most of the time is during sun it may be ok. You need to have a good battery bank do you are only drawing from the top 10-20% of your batteries.

Probably... the kit includes 4-100 watt panels that likely would exceed the power requirements of a monitor and computer. It is also important you recognize you will need to add batteries to the system. Regarding the amount of time you run the computer and monitor it will be important if you are running during daylight or at night. Simple test you may want to try if running at night is connect your computer and monitor to power inverter connected to a car battery and see how long the system runs on full charge. My guess is you will get several hours use and you can determine how many batteries you will need with system if running at night. Running during the day you will need to determine how many watts you system needs and recognize the 400 watt rating is under ideal conditions and not accounting for any efficiency loss from the battery charger and inverter. Hope this helps. (You may also want to contact Grape Solar directly... they have been helpful to me.)

Yes it will. I have actually tested this power supply with a load that draws 20 A forabout 1/2 hour and it did the job without problem. The power supply is rated for 30 A,but I never tested it at 30 A.

this supply's +12v to the center pin ,I do not know the requirements for your monitor

My power supply is similar and I have been using it for about a year now with no issues. I also use dual monitors. I'd at least try it out.

Yes the Energizer 84020 12V all-in-one jumper-start system will provide power to your lamp for approximately 2 hours using a 60 watt light bulb. As long as you do not go over 200 watts you will be fine. It will run your computer or small TV for about 45 minutes. Handy tool for Emergcies.

The power load with one monitor connected at full load is listed by www.anandtech.com as 284 Watts. This will be increased if you use more than one monitors. So going on the assumption that you are only using one monitor plus CPU at no more than 125 W and the rest of the components. I believe 500 W would be sufficient but to be careful I would get at least a 550 W power supply.

If it is a good PSU like a Corsair, Seasonic or an Antec you will likely be fine. With a cheap PSU it will likely shut down your computer periodically at best and instantaneously at worst.

Im never a 100% So I always use PSU calculators and find out my systems watt consumption. But as far as connections, it should work as this is a fully modular PSU. You can Google PSU calculators to help you guess how much you'll need. I always go a little over what they suggest incase you want to add stuff later and to be safe in case there is any fluctuation in power

This HIGHLY depends on how power hungry your equipment is. A powerful PC with dual monitors, printer, etc will require a lot more power than a lightweight machine with a single LED screen. I think you would get about 20 minutes on average though.

I would think it would not be a problem, anything that requires a 12 volt dc power supply should work as long as it doesn't require more than 10 amps

Good morning. Yes the power supply you have mentioned will work just fine. Anything over 650w will work. You might want to consider a higher wattage if you are using more than two hard drives in the case.

Depends on how much power you are drawing. I have my desktop PC, monitor, router and cable modem on battery backup. All I want is time to save what I am working on and shut down properly. Around 10 minutes would be fine with me, but I haven't tried to test it.

Yes. I have a 32 inch monitor, PS3, and my computer plugged into it. It gives me 21 minutes of power to finish what I am doing and shut down the computer properly. It is a life saver.

It can, but the Raspberry Pi itself can not offer a reliable source of power for the monitor. So, you will need to connect the USB to either a self-powered USB hub or just a standard USB charger. I just hooked it up to my Raspberry Pi home theater system to test, so you can see for yourself; http://i.imgur.com/CiC708y.jpg

My guess would be YES, ABSOLUTELY. I run a 28" LED TV for 8 hours on a single charge. I'm not a scientist, but you can calculate how many watts of power are used: go here to this website -- https://www.batteryweb.com/pdf/inverter_battery_sizing_faq.pdf

Yes. You would need to determine how many mA the monitor uses. Then you can divide that into the 3800mAh and get and approximate run time.

I have not tested it for that length of time without power but I would think that it would. The unit uses very little power to run the time circuit and LED display.
